Abstract

The following degree work is the design of a pharmacological manual for swine welfare, which aimed to study the theoretical foundations that identify the benefits of good administration of veterinary drugs, in addition to facilitating the work of the personnel in charge and that by implementing this alternative you will have the ease and knowledge to make proper use of the different types of drugs. On the other hand, it will help to minimize expenses with respect to the treatment of diseases. For the elaboration of the manual, production systems were identified in which they have an empirical and technical management, in order to investigate the impact on animal welfare by not carrying out adequate drug application processes where the use of design can create and recommend the appropriate use of a pharmacological manual, and on the other hand to know the benefits of applying optimal management. The methods used were analysissynthesis, bibliographic, empirical and activities for the design of the manual. The techniques applied were based on interviews and advice from experts in swine production. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that the use of the manual will help significantly in production and animal welfare. The implementation of this alternative in the different swine production systems will indicate the proper management of the application of the different types of drugs, will allow the identification of the function of each one of them and when to use them in each productive stage in order to carry out sustainable management. Faced with this reality, it was necessary to design a pharmacological manual for swine well-being, which would benefit pig farmers in the community of San Lorenzo Chone - vía Colorado on the Tigrillo farm of the Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí University, Chone extension.
